Liberal Zionists - Gatekeepers of genocide.

A thread 🧵

Israel’s ongoing genocide is part of a downward spiral for the Zionist project. 1/ 2/ Yet Zionism’s long-standing settler goals have not only thrived through genocidal aggression masked as “self-defence” with subsequent land grabs as obscene rewards for its adherents but also via its “liberal” flank serving a crucial propaganda role,

On the fallacy of a "Jewish and Democratic" state as a core tenet of Zionist propaganda.

A short thread 🧵 1/

Zionism has been a white supremacist settler movement since its inception. 2/ Zionists coopted aspects of Judaism and Liberalism, repackaging them as appeals to identities and propaganda tools to bolster colonial expansion.

On "pathologizing" genocidal displays.

A thread 🧵1/

War and mass killing (genocide) are not inherent to human nature; archaeological findings indicate these behaviors emerged with the onset of imperialism. 2/ Humans are a social species, and anti-social behavior has typically been viewed as a symptom of psychopathology.

Though traditionally considered maladaptive, anti-social behaviors (eg bullying) have been reevaluated by researchers like Anthony Volk.

Standing Together (@omdimbeyachad) has initiated a “Humanitarian Guard” in Jerusalem to protect Palestinians from aggressive settlers, predominantly from the West Bank, who aim to intimidate, lynch, or destroy businesses in cowardly acts of bullying.

A short thread 🧵1/ 2/ While it is undeniably brave to stand against such violence, Standing Together fails to identify and denounce Zionism, the root cause of the issue. Without addressing Zionism, their efforts remain relatively insignificant compared to the oppressive violence perpetrated by IOF

On the Netanyahus and antisemitism

A short thread 🧵1/ Image 2/ The contemporary Zionist collusion with antisemites and fascists runs deep and is orchestrated by those at the very top. In fact, Zionists and the current Netanyahu regime are some of the foremost contributors to antisemitism and fascism worldwide.

Yesterday marked Israeli Independence Day, an important milestone in the Israeli psyche and an incomparable tool for Zionist/ white supremacist genocide-for-land-grab.

A thread 🧵 1/ 2/ Political, religious, military and economic elites easily manipulate behavioral manifestations associated with fear and anxiety in a populace to gain support for their aggressive policies, distract from their own inadequacies and suppress dissent.

University protesters at @Columbia @nyuniversity @MIT and other academic institutions are receiving the classic Zionist treatment, or as I call it -

The "Zionist one-two propaganda punch"

A thread 🧵1/ 2/ Zionist propaganda depends on the promulgation of two major fallacies. First, it ahistorically equates Zionism and Judaism as interconnected since biblical days, instead of correctly presenting Zionism as a modern European movement with Christian roots.

The liberal Zionist group @BtSIsrael functions to sanitise and revise the reactionary, settler-colonialist and white supremacist essence of the movement and obscure its motivations – expansionism and apartheid.

Disappointing to see them on @democracynow

Over time, secular Zionists have cultivated a symbiotic relationship with extremist cultoid fundamentalist groups, both Christian and Jewish.

Brief survey of Israeli media in Hebrew

Every few days I scan Israeli media in Hebrew to see whether there is any kind of resistance. I always come back discouraged.

It is crucial to remain vigilant against the reemergence of liberal Zionist narratives. If there's any progress to be had from the hell Palestinian people have been immersed in, it's the death of this pernicious propaganda.

A thread 🧵 1/ 2/ In contrast with the call for BDS and the failures of decades of negotiations, some insist that peace and justice can be achieved by means of dialogue and compromise between Palestinians and Zionists.

~ children and schools
~ journalists and media
